Elvari Wakes Up in the Feydark

Miscellaneous

Elvari wakes up in a very fancy room within the Feydark after being abducted by Nicu. Nicu tries to threaten Elvari into telling him what Soren wants to do with the Crown of Truth, but realizes Elvari has no valuable information. Nicu summons a Bone Devil to knock him out and starts thinking about how he could torture Elvari in a way that would hurt Soren the most. Grimshaw appears right before he can, and the two get into a fight until Nicu decides to leave. Grimshaw gives Elvari a health potion so he wakes up before going back to his work as the God of Death.

Elvari wakes up in a very fancy room within the Feydark after being abducted by Nicu. The last thing he remembered was following a glowing object to a portal in a field until something knocked him out from behind.   While snooping through the room, Elvari finds a set of keys on an end table and a shining Pearl of Power in a large dusty bookshelf.   Nicu enters the room and introduces himself as a distant family member connected to Soren. He finds Elvari strange because he's not terrified of being kidnapped and separated from his friends in a room he doesn't recognize. Elvari says it happens all the time and he can easily summon his brother, Grimshaw. Elvari also says only two or three of the party are ones he'd call "friends," then insults Nicu for "not doing his research before kidnapping people." Nicu says that he does know Elvari is a vampire, and that he is a dhampyr. Elvari doesn't find it very impressive and asks what he wants from him.   Nicu throws a dagger at Elvari, pinning his shoulder to the bed with hit. Elvari laughs through the entire thing--finding Nicu fun to mess with. Nicu says he's survived Elvari manages to survive the dagger's poison. He asks what Soren wants the Crown of Truth for, but Elvari says he doesn't know and calls Nicu an idiot. Nicu doesn't believe him and demands to know more. Elvari continues to annoy him after explaining how he came to be in this world. Nicu sighs and says Soren sent a "complete suicidal idiot who is no help to him" before suggesting the possibility of torturing him as a way to hurt Soren. Elvari finds the idea exciting--baffling Nicu.   Nicu casts Silence on Elvari so he can no longer speak. He summons a Bone Devil that appears behind Elvari, but the vampire simply calls the Fiend cute and tries to pet it. Nicu orders the Bone Devil to attack Elvari--once again entertaining Elvari to the point of laughter. The Bone Devil causes Elvari to be knocked out from its attacks.   As Nicu is trying to figure out what would bother Soren the most, Grimshaw appears in the room and slams him into the wall. Grimshaw didn't want to be involved, but says Soren would be on his ass if he didn't. Nicu makes fun of Grimshaw by calling him a babysitter. The two start fighting for a moment, with Grimshaw on the winning side, until Nicu claims to get bored and decides to leave. He says to tell Elvari he hopes he enjoys what his friends are going through because of him.   Grimshaw gives Elvari a healing potion so he regains consciousness. Elvari says he was having fun. Grimshaw says he was in the middle of work when he suddenly got a call from Soren saying he could sense Elvari was dying. Grimshaw claims he only helped because he had to, then leaves. Elvari is then free to leave the room.
